Literacy - Please complete reading, taking notes and developing synthesis' for the attitude text we read today in class (the quotes text). As you read and take notes, make sure that your notes show what you have learned from the text. Act like each quote represents 3 loonies. You want to make sure that you take all 3 loonies so that you get the full value. Therefore, don't just look at the quote - think about it and reflect upon it. The better you understand it, the easier it will be to apply it to the classroom and your life in general. The better you understand, the more likely you will get the "full value" from the text. (Due tomorrow)
Literacy - Since we have been learning about attitude, I would like to encourage each of you to begin looking for resources which teach about attitude. What I am really hoping for is that we can find resources which reflect different cultures. Therefore, if you have a book, video, article or anything else that reflects your culture and teaches about topics that have to do with attitude, I would be so very grateful if you would bring it to class. When I say culture, this is very open ended. It could be texts that reflect your faith, a different country, or even a different way of thinking. You can bring the text to school, or make a photocopy, take some pictures or even send me an internet link. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
Math - Chapter 1 Test tomorrow
Picture Day - Is Tuesday October 8th.
Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences. Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement. I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know what you think :)
I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents. In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.
